Wow Rick! Great stuff as always. I love the Lord of the Potomac shot!
But what I really want to know is.... How was the biker bar? Any good brawls?

Anyway, if you head toward Luke from Oakland, the signs warning truckers about the steep grade are amusing. Brooke was particularly concerned about the one that said something to the effect, "TRUCKERS!!! If your brakes fail, ditch truck immediately!"
When we camped out there a few weeks ago, I took some back roads that were just lovely. I wish I could remember the names of some of them... There was a dirt road that went over a mountain, maybe 5 miles long. About half way back, there's a pit toilet out in the middle of nowhere. Very weird!

For good measure, the Fairfax Stone also marks the headwaters of the Potomac River, which begins from an underground spring at this spot. Here I am, acting as Richard Lord Foster, temporary master of the Potomac River.
Hey Rick - nice report!!! Glad you made it to the "right" spot - but be careful of the "Children of the Corn"!!!!
You are truly the "Master of the Potomac River" We are soooo not worthy!!!!

Thanks for sharing your ride, and making me jealous of the time you spend on these journeys of discovery!
I have made two pilgrimages to the Fairfax Stone:
In 2006 with Mike Baum,
And 4 years ago with some good friends. I was a bit heavier then!
